My First Waltz....


This is the first time I've joined the waltz with waltzingmouse stamps - I adore their stamps and have seen the waltz but never really grasped what to do.  So I hope I've done it right!  The theme this month was birthdays and as its been very cake related on my blog this weekend, I went straight for the eat cake set that was part of the July release.  I stamped a rainbow row of candles, added a ribbon below and stamped happy birthday from the say it loud collection directly onto the ribbon.  I stamped the cake it yellow, added more candles in pink, and turned the cake stand upside down to form a plate (carefully inking to avoid the leg of the stand) and stamped the sentiment directly onto the cake.


If you want to find out more about the waltz and join in the next one on 17th August, then join the WM forum.

Edit - sorry this is posted late - I haven't grasped the new format for scheduling obviously :(
